The Original collection is where Globe-Trotter’s legacy was born. Handcrafted in England using traditional techniques dating back to 1897, each piece in the collection reflects a century of design purity, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence.
The Original Attaché is a refined companion for work, travel, and everything in between. Constructed from warm brown vulcanised fibreboard and finished with matching brown leather corners, it is accented by polished chrome fittings that lend a clean, contemporary edge. With no straps or embellishment, the silhouette is precise, purposeful, and unmistakably Globe-Trotter.
The structured profile opens to reveal a soft fabric-lined interior with a removable leather folio, offering thoughtful organisation for documents, devices, and essentials. The top handle is crafted from matching leather for comfort in hand, whether commuting to the office or navigating a new city.
Part of the Original collection, this is a case designed to evolve with its owner. Quietly iconic, resolutely practical, and made to last for generations.

Vulcanised Fibreboard
The body of the Attaché is crafted from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, formed from 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable sources. The layers are bonded with zinc and compressed using steam and pressure, resulting in a shell that is exceptionally lightweight and strong. This exclusive material is chosen for its durability, structural integrity, and timeless character.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
All leather elements, including the hand-moulded corners, trims, handles and fastening details, are made from vegetable-tanned hide. This traditional tanning method uses only natural plant extracts to create leather of exceptional strength and character. Over time, it develops a rich patina, ensuring that every case becomes ever more individual with each journey.
Ethical Sourcing
All leather is ethically sourced, with traceability and a commitment to high standards of animal welfare and responsible environmental practices.
Handle
The handle is constructed from reinforced, vegetable-tanned leather. It is bonded, pressed, and hand-finished for comfort and long-term durability.
Lining
The interior is lined with finely woven cotton or a cotton-blend fabric, chosen for its smooth feel, strength, and refined look.
Locks and Hardware
The Attaché is equipped with a precision-engineered lock and hardware made from carbon steel or solid brass, finished in gold, chrome, or signature tones. Each component is selected for reliable security and a polished appearance.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is fitted inside each Attaché, confirming authenticity and providing a permanent mark of provenance.
